"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us." --F. Scott Fitzgerald

I think that's the end of the Fitzgerald quotes.... Weird how they all ended up right around the same time.

Anyway. Gatsby believed in hope, and the American dream, and all that good stuff. Hang on to your green lights. Things may not work out, but if you forget about the green light they definitely won't work out. Or something.

I need a car.

Who said I had extrinsic aspirations? Has anything I've ever said made you think I care about fame or fortune?

Is the American Dream about fame and fortune, or is it about opportunity, and doing better for yourself than you could have in whatever country you came from?

Sorry about being snappy earlier.
